Whenever I try to transfer UR points to an account that is not already saved in my profile, I get the “special handling required” error message. Including once when the moving webpage caused me to accidentatly erase my Hyatt details and I went to add them again! But one call to CS was all it took to get them (re-)added.
I think it helps Chase enforce the "own accounts only" rule.
